Jim J. Bullock
A popular TV personality in the 1980s and 1990s, actor Jim J. Bullock rose to stardom as the eternally confused Monroe Ficus on "Too Close for Comfort" (ABC/syndicated, 1980-86). His combative interplay with series star Ted Knight was often the highlight of the show, but Bullock struggled to turn the show's popularity into lasting fame. He took the brave move of coming out in 1990. He continued to work in the new millennium with award-winning turns on the Los Angeles stage and television series like "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" (Nickelodeon, 2004-07), and helped to underscore the notion that with talent and determination, performers could thrive and survive under the most difficult of situations.
